A Project Narrative
Introduction to Project
The applicant Martin County Regional Water and Sewer Authority
(MCRWASA) proposes to install a water intake structure and associated
infrastructure within the Roanoke River to supply the 2 0 MGD water treatment
plant
Project Purpose
Martin County currently utilizes ground water sources for its public water
supplies Martin County is subject to the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area
(CCPCUA) rules which require reductions of ground water withdrawals
MCRWASA is constructing a surface water treatment plant in order to comply
with the CCPCUA rule while continuing to serve its customers with a safe and
reliable drinking water source The proposed intake and associated infrastructure
will be used to convey surface water from the Roanoke River to the proposed
water treatment plant for treatment and distribution
Proposed Project
The proposed project will provide a new water supply source to MCRWASA who
supplies water to the Town of Williamston and Martin County Water and Sewer
Districts 1 and 2 The project includes the construction of a 2 0 MGD surface
water treatment plant which shall utilize a run of river water intake from the
southern bank of Roanoke River The intake shall be designed to protect the
integrity of aquatic species and their habitat in the area
The surface water intake shall be a 36 inch diameter tee screen anchored by a
concrete slab The tee screen will have mesh or slot openings of 10 mm or less
The screen has been sized such that the entrance velocities do not exceed 0 25 fps
Additionally the screen will have an air backwash system that shall use
compressed air to clean the screen These design parameters shall protect the
integrity of aquatic species and their habitats in the vicinity of the surface water
intake
The intake is to be located on property owned by Martin County at Morotoc Park
The intake structure shall be constructed in the Roanoke River using a sheet pile
coffer dam In addition to the intake structure a fender will be constructed to
protect the intake structure from debris and flotsam that may be floating down
river The fender shall be constructed of 20 foot piles and 4 x 12 timbers
anchored across the piles with a 1 foot spacing Class I rip rap shall be placed
around the base of the fender and the intake structure to protect the riverbed
against scour

Water withdrawn through the intake will flow by gravity through a 20 inch pipe
to a pump station located away from the river outside the 100 year floodplam at
Morotoc Park in Williamston A 4 inch compressed air line will be installed with
the raw water line using straps and saddles This line will supply the air
backwash system with compressed air The raw water pump station shall use a
vertical turbine pump to pump water southwest along River Drive and shall
continue along the alignment to the water treatment plant To protect the pumps
and electrical equipment from damage due to flood events the pump station shall
be constructed above the 500 year flood elevation (19 feet above mean sea level)
The new structure will occupy approximately 2 600 cubic feet of the 500 year
floodplain The impact on the available flood capacity and function is expected to
be undetectable
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Approximately 1 000 feet of submerged aquatic
vegetation will be temporarily displaced in the active construction area but should
naturally repopulate after construction is complete
Aquatic Resources Gerald Pottern with Robert J Goldstein and Associates
prepared a study for US Wildlife Service of the ichthyoplanckton sampling at
Moratoc Park in Williamston NC The preliminary results are attached as
Attachment B The general finding is that the proposed intake location 50 feet
from the right bank (outer bend) and 1 to 2 meters below the surface is outside the
area where drifting larvae of shad river herring striped bass or white perch are
most concentrated Carp and minnows are the only species that exhibit a slightly
increased concentration in this area but they are also abundant elsewhere in the
channel While an intake location along the inner bend (left bank) might impinge
or entrain fewer fish larvae the proposed location and withdrawal volume (less
than 0 05 percent of typical Apr May river flow) is unlikely to cause significant
mortality to fish larvae
All work within the Roanoke River associated with the water intake will be
completed outside of the construction moratorium of February 15 to September
30
Cultural Resources
Martin County has 25 nationally registered historic places as listed by the
National Register Information System provided by the National Park Service
National Register of Historic Places on April 14 2009 available at
http / /www nr nps ov/ None of them are to be impacted by this project

MITIGATION
The surface water intake will be designed with screens having maximum
openings of 10 millimeter and entrance velocities not to exceed 025 feet per
second Additionally the intake will be designed with an air purge system to
loosen any debris that may happen to become lodged in the screen These design
parameters will protect the aquatic species and habitats in the project vicinity
The surface water intake will be installed in the optimal location identified by the
larval study Construction impacts to the Moratoc Park will be temporary Any
areas disturbed during construction will be returned to pre construction contours
following construction The raw water pump station will be constructed outside
the 100 year floodplam and all equipment will be protected by elevating it above
the 500 year floodplam The project as proposed has fewer floodplam impacts
than what was originally proposed Additionally the portions of the project
within the floodplam will be constructed in accordance with Martin County s
flood plain ordinance and will be protected by flood insurance Navigation and
recreational use of the Roanoke River will be maintained
The raw water pump station will be located outside of existing wetlands as
delineated The engineer s wetland delineation has been confirmed with the US
Army Corps of Engineers The pump station is not in conflict with the wetland
The project will be constructed in accordance with the Army Corps of Engineers
and DWQ conditions for Nationwide Permit 18 and GC 3821 An Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan will be established to protect the Roanoke River from silt
and to protect the protect site from the loss of sediment as a result of the
construction activities Additionally the Roanoke River will be reclassified as a
water supply watershed through application to the DWQ which will protect the
Roanoke River as a water supply source The majority of the project is located in
Martin County and avoids coastal resources however the portion of the project
which is in Bertie County a coastal county, has been determined to be consistent
with Bertie County s CAMA Land Use Plan A CAMA Mayor permit will be
required for this project

I Z he Corps of Engineers believes that there maybe Jurisdictional waters of the United States
on the subject site and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this
preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved
jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site Nevertheless the permit applicant or other person
who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD
in this instance and at this time
2 In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring pre construction
notification' (PCN) or requests verification for a non reporting NWP of other general permit
and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity the permit applicant is
hereby made aware of the following (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a preliminary JD which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization and that basing a permit
authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions (3) that the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general
permit authorization, (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to
comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit including whatever nutigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary, (5) that undertaking any activity in
reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the
applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD but that either form of JD will be
processed as soon as is practicable (6) accepting a permit authorization (e g signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water
bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United
States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial
compliance or enforcement action or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court, and
(7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD that JD will be
processed as soon as is practicable Further, an approved ID a proffered individual permit (and
all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C F R Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional
issues can be raised (see 33 C F R 331 5(a)(2)) If during that administrative appeal it becomes
necessary to make an official determination whether CWA Jurisdiction exists over a site or to
provide an official delineation of Jurisdictional waters on the site the Corps will provide an
approved JD to accomplish that result as soon as is practicable
This preliminary JD finds that there may be waters of the United States on the subject project
site and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity
based on the following information Based on the hydric soils hydrological indicators and
hyrophytic vegetation found during the September 13 2011 site visit with Mark Hussey
in the original proposed placement of the pump station it was shifted to the west to
avoid all wetland impacts thts-At ®acde of the proiect Placement at the mapped location
will not take a permit from the Corps (See map in file) There are wetlands near the

project area and any deviation from the approved site impacts should be discussed
with the Corps prior to beginning work to ensure no wetlands are present

Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The project will provide MCRWASA with a surface water treatment plant for the treatment of water from the Roanoke
River This WTP will provide MCRWASA s member entities with high quality potable water supplies and will allow
MCRWASA to comply with the CCPCUA rules by reducing their ground water withdrawals for drinking water purposes
3e
Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used
The proposed project will provide a new water supply source to MCRWASA who supplies water to the Town of
Wdliamston and Martin County Water and Sewer Districts 1 and 2 The project includes the construction of a 2 0 MGD
surface water treatment plant which shall utilize a run of river water intake from the southern bank of Roanoke River The
intake shall be designed to protect the integrity of aquatic species and their habitat in the area The surface water intake
shall be a 36 inch diameter tee screen anchored by a concrete slab The tee screen will have mesh or slot openings of
1 0 mm or less The screen has been sized such that the entrance velocities do not exceed 0 25 fps Additionally the
screen will have an air backwash system that shall use compressed air to clean the screen These design parameters
shall protect the integrity of aquatic species and their habitats in the vicinity of the surface water intake The intake is to be
located on property owned by Martin County at Morotoc Park The intake structure shall be constructed in the Roanoke
River using a sheet pile cofferdam In addition to the intake structure a fender will be constructed to protect the intake
structure from debris and flotsam that may be floating down river The fender shall be constructed of 20 foot piles and 4
x 12 timbers anchored across the piles with a 1 foot spacing Class I rip rap shall be placed around the base of the
fender and the intake structure to protect the riverbed against scour Water withdrawn through the intake will flow by
gravity through a 20 inch pipe to a pump station located away from the river outside the 100 year floodplain at Morotoc
Park in Williamston A 4 inch compressed air line will be installed with the raw water line using straps and saddles This
line will supply the air backwash system with compressed air The raw water pump station shall use a vertical turbine
pump to pump water southwest along River Drive and shall continue along the alignment to the water treatment plant To
protect the pumps and electrical equipment from damage due to future flood events the pump station shall be constructed
above the 500 year flood elevation (19 feet above mean sea level) The new structure will occupy approximately 2 600
cubic feet of the 500 year floodplain The impact on the available flood capacity and function is expected to be
undetectable In addition to the raw water impact site the proposed 2 0 MGD water treatment plant is to be constructed
within the Town of Wdliamston on a site that is currently used as agricultural lands The WTP site will include a Raw
water reservoir clarifier the main building containing the filters chemical feed building chlorine contact chamber
clearwell backwash/waste basin gravity thickener and elevated tank The construction at the WTP site shall not impact
any streams or wetlands
In addition the project includes the construction of approximately 4650 If of 18 raw water line 6420 If of 18 and 13465 If
of 12 finished water line Any stream or wetland crossings by these transmission lines will be horizontally directionally

D Impact Justification and Mitigation
1 Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The surface water intake will be designed with screens having maximum openings of 1 0 millimeter and entrance velocities not
to exceed 0 25 feet per second Additionally the intake will be designed with an air purge system to loosen any debris that
may happen to become lodged in the screen These design parameters will protect the aquatic species and habitats in the
project vicinity
The surface water intake will be installed in the optimal location identified by the larval study completed by USFWS
Construction impacts to the Moratoc Park will be temporary Any areas disturbed during construction will be returned to pre
construction contours following construction The raw water pump station will be constructed outside the 100 year floodplain
and all equipment will be protected by elevating it above the 500 year floodplain Additionally the portions of the project within
the floodplain will be constructed in accordance with Martin County s flood plain ordinance and will be protected by flood
insurance Navigation and recreational use of the Roanoke River will be maintained
The raw water pump station will be located outside of existing wetlands as delineated The engineers wetland delineation has
been confirmed with the US Corps of Engineers to confirm the pump station is not in conflict with the wetland
The raw and finished water lines were designed to minimize impact by directional drilling under Sweetwater Creek and
avoiding wetlands and water bodies in the design
1 b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Directional drill
